Earlier this year, several governments around the world began questioning its safety in food packaging, giving it a huge amount of bad press, and more so since the Canadian government announced its intention of banning baby bottles containing BPA.

Food Standards Australia New Zealand has put out a statement that "Bisphenol A does not cause cancer" and committed to keep abreast of developments and reviews from overseas regulatory agencies.

Similarly, the US Food and Drug Administration feels that the very low levels of BPA that end up in food are not a cause for concern and remind consumers that they can use glass alternatives instead.

Meanwhile, a number of baby bottle manufacturers and retailers have been unnerved by consumer concern and voluntarily stopped making or selling BPA containing baby products.
